DOGE CLAIMS TO HAVE DISCOVERED 14 'MONEY COMPUTER' CREATING CASH OUT OF NOWHERE
Elon Musk said, "Any computer which can just produce money out of thin air, that's magic money," as he dove into exactly where they were being 'printed'. The Tesla CEO made his debut appearance at a Trump rally on October 5 of last year, on the stage of the same rural agricultural showground where three months earlier Thomas Matthew Crooks had tried to kill President Donald Trump.
That was during his presidential campaign, of course. He was hooked by his brief appearance in front of the Republican fans, and he has been a constant presence in the Trump administration ever since. Although the 53-year-old is not an elected official, he has been given powers that, before November 5, were unthinkable for a member of the public to acquire without being voted in, in contrast to the 78-year-old and almost every outspoken politician in the US. The CEO of SpaceX and Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential candidate and entrepreneur, is now leading the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
They have pledged to dismantle the agency by July 4, 2026, which is Independence Day next year, once they have completed their goal of streamlining the US government by eliminating thousands of jobs and dramatically lowering the wage bill. After being invited to appear on his Verdict podcast, which went live yesterday (March 17), the internet mogul-turned-politician now claims that he and his crew have discovered 14 "magic money computers" in the process. "Among the things you told me about are what you dubbed magic money computers," Cruz remarked. To which the father-of-14 replied: "You may think that government computers all talk to each other, they all synchronize, they add up what funds are going somewhere and its coherent and that the numbers you're presented as a Senator are the real numbers. They're not."
He continued by saying that the numbers presented to government officials are inaccurate by as much as five to ten percent. Musk went on to say, "Any computer which can just produce money out of thin air, that's magic money," before describing how it "just issues payments." He stated: "They're largely at the Treasury, some are at HHS [US Department of Health and Human Services], one or two at State, there's some at DOD [US Department of Defense], I guess we've identified 14 magic money machines." He did not specify which agencies the South Africans had come across these computers at. Musk alleges that the US fabricate payments before sending them across the world, adding: "They just send money out of nothing."
